Purchase Misunderstanding of Aluminum Profile

Aluminum profile is made of the aluminum stick that forms different shapes of aluminum materials through different degrees of hot melt, extrusion. Aluminum profiles are widely used, usually in construction, home improvement, industry, etc. So, how much aluminum profile is? Do not worry. As below, I will introduce you aluminum prices and some knowledge about aluminum.

Characteristics of aluminum profile

1. Corrosion resistance

Aluminum density is only 2.7g/cm3, which is 1/3 of the density of steel, copper or brass (7.83g/cm3, 8.93g/cm3). Aluminum can show excellent corrosion resistance in most environmental conditions, including in air, water (or brine), petro chemistry and many other chemical systems.

2. Electrical conductivity

Aluminum profiles are often used because of their excellent electrical conductivity. On the basis of equal weight, the conductivity of aluminum is nearly two times of that of copper.

3. Thermal conductivity

The thermal conductivity of Aluminum Alloy is about 50-60% of copper, which is favorable to the manufacture of heat exchanger, evaporator, heating appliances, cooking utensils, and the cylinder head and radiator of car.

4. Non-ferromagnetism

Aluminum is non-ferromagnetic, which is a significant feature for the electrical and electronic industries. Aluminum profiles are not self-inflammable, which is important for applications involving handling or exposure to flammable and explosive materials.

5. Machinable property

Machinable property of aluminum profiles is excellent. Machinable property change considerably in various wrought aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys, as well as in the various conditions after the output of these alloys, , which requires special machine tools or technology.

6. Formability

The allowable deformation is dominated by specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and the corresponding work hardening rate.

7. Recycling

Aluminum has high level of recovery. In addition, the characteristics of recycled aluminum are hardly different from primary aluminum.

Specification about Aluminum profile

Specifications about Aluminum alloy doors and windows profile are: 35-series, 38-series of, 40-series, 60-series, 70-serie, etc. The so-called 35, 38...... , refers to width of the aluminum alloy profile main frame is 35 mm, 38 mm....... Balcony closure usually uses 70-series or 90-series, and if less than 70, the strength is hard to guarantee.

Aluminum prices

Aluminum production process mainly three processes including casting, extrusion and coloring (coloring mainly includes: oxidation, electrophoresis coating, fluorine carbon coating, wood grain transfer etc.) the color in general are silver white, black, bronze, gold, etc. Aluminum prices are different from one to another. Generally speaking, they are mainly affected by some main factors, such as types, use, brands. Generally, Aluminum prices are tens of thousands, and the price range is 14000 - 50000 Yuan per ton.

Six Major Considerations for the Purchasing of Aluminum Windows and Doors

1^st, attention to a careful study of windows and doors sealing performance

According to the experts in the selection of aluminum doors warn owners pay particular attention to its sealing performance when choosing aluminum doors with mosaic glass, especially for hollow glass design of aluminum windows and doors products. Because if the door and window sealing is not good, it will lead to aluminum doors and windows hollow layer filth, seriously affecting the appearance. General aluminum windows and doors brand products use high-quality sealing tape, which will be receive all-round sealing treatment by advanced hot-pressing sealing technology. It  not only can effectively prevent the dust and water, but also improve the sound insulation.

2^nd, aluminum windows and doors components

In addition, the component of aluminum door and window should be strong enough. Also, high-quality aluminum door and window components are required to use corrosion-resistant filling material to keep the connection airtight and waterproof.

3^rd, aluminum windows and doors signs

Normally formal or production license of aluminum windows and doors manufacturers will mark the product logo in its obvious parts, marked information includes: manufacturer or trademark, product name, product type or mark, manufacture date or number. The packing box should have obvious words and signs like "moisture", "handle with care" and "upward" etc.

4^th, aluminum windows and doors prices

In general, high-quality aluminum doors and windows is equivalent to high production costs, which price is lower than the poor aluminum doors and windows by 30%. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers choose cut corners, like producing shoddy, which add the risk of products. We need to keep this in mind and choose standard products. Pay more attention to this information, so you can not be misled.

5^th, aluminum windows and doors processing quality

High-quality aluminum windows and doors are finely processed, exquisitely welded, especially the smooth in some of the stitching. The poor quality aluminum windows and doors, blindly select series and specifications and  processed shoddy. The door frames and other locations can not be spliced ​​flat, and sometimes even a larger gap appears. When purchasing, consumers should pay special attention checking welding defects, such as open welding, leakage welding and so on.

6^th, aluminum windows and doors profiles

There should no depression or bulging in the surface of aluminum windows and doors profiles. The  wall thickness of main profile need to be thicker than 1.4mm.The same aluminum windows and doors profiles color should be consistent. If there exists color difference, it is not appropriate to buy. Avoid opening the surface of the bubble (white spots) and ash (black spots), and cracks, burrs, from the skin and other obvious defects in the profile. Oxide film thickness should reach 10 microns. Scratch the surface to see whether the surface of the oxide film can be wiped when purchasing.

A View Of Non Ferrous Metals Index Aluminium Extrusion Price Trend

  

The non-ferrous metals industry’s monthly prosperity index report was released in Octorber,2016, which was made up by the China nonferrous metals industry association, China academy of economic trends of the Economic Daily and China economic monitoring center of the National Bureau of statistics. The report showed that the prosperity index of non-ferrous metals industry was 27.6. Compared with last month, it increased by 2.2, rising to the upper edge of a “rather cold” area. The growth has expanded month by month since the third quarter, and the whole industry presents a positive trend.

At the same time, the ex-factory price has risen firstly since 2012. Because of this, the total profit of non-ferrous metals industry increase dramatically, and the profit rate gets a great improvement compared to the same period of last year. Meanwhile, there is a remarkable achievement in terms of scientific and technological innovation, transformation and upgrading and the green development. However, in addition to the influence of the rebound in price, sales status has not been improved obviously; the weakness in demand and the pressure of excess capacity are still high.

The overall recovery of the industry

In October, 2016, China Economy non-ferrous metals industry prosperity index increases 2.2 to 27.6 compared with last month, and the leading synthetic index is 82.5, rising by 1.9 compared with last month. “Since this year, both the leading synthetic index and the prosperity index are growing up, especially the prosperity index has soared in “cold area” and the industry presents a positive trend. “ The vice secretary-general of China non-ferrous industry Wang Huajun analyses it. And he estimates that the non-ferrous metals industry will show a stable recovery tendency in a short term.

According to the global economic environment, the global economy will remain a moderate growth in the fourth quarter in 2016; American economy has developed rapidly; European economy maintains the slow growth. Although it is still in the weak range in general, the recovery of emerging economies tends to pick up. In terms of domestic economy, the national economy runs smoothly, which is better than expectation. Commodity prices continue to rise and the supply and demand of the domestic market present positive changes. Moreover, RMB devaluation becomes the impetus for the export growth of the non-ferrous metals industry and also stimulates the export activities. The non-ferrous metals' allied industries recover distinctly and the supply-demand relationship improved significantly.

The Aluminum Windows and Doors Enterprises Should Find a Way of Survival

In 2016, it is a rough year for Chinese aluminum windows and doors enterprises, especially in the long winter. Even if the weather is warm, for many people, the weather cannot withstand the cold inside body. In the winner-take-all era, if Chinese aluminum profile manufacturers want to spend a warm winter, they should find a suitable way of survival.

1: The reshuffle of market increases the obviousness of the difference between the high quality products and poor quality aluminum profiles.

In the severe market environment, the features presented by the market reshuffle will be more prominent. Many Chinese aluminum profile suppliers will get in trouble in the tough market environment and they will even be kicked out of the market. However, the manufacturers which can survive in the tough market environment will have the more tenacious vitality which can help them resist the risks. In fact, when the companies were founded, they accept the tests and challenges actively or passively constantly.

There is no doubt that the living environment of aluminum door and window enterprises is worse than before, but there are also a number of enterprises which are willing to take risks, accept the challenges and are full of strong spirit. As for these fighters, there are a lot of opportunities in the market at any time. As a thriving industry, aluminum door and window industries are not likely to collapse. On the contrary, they will have a further development. 2016 is just a setback which can be overcome.

2: The confidence is more vital than gold.

First of all, Chinese economy still shows a good growth state, it just become slower compared to the few years before. If the overall national economy is growing, the market will be developed, and the aluminum door and window manufactures is the one of them. Secondly, even though the market circumstance is worse and worse, there is still enough living space for aluminum profile supplier. Therefore, these people who have thought, pattern and the executive force can keep the competitive advantages.

3: The capital is the flowing lifeblood for the business.

In the business environment, if the sales decline, the profit decreases, it depends on the capital whether the aluminum profiles manufactures can hold on for long time. For enterprises, the capital is just like the blood for people. Hence, if there is no capital , there is no company.
